FRIDAY, August 18th.
In the matter of Julio Patricio, on
habeas corpus. Petition for a writ. The
prisoner was in charge of the Marshal,
and District Justice j. p. Kama of Waia-
nae was also present.
Ihe Attorney General said that the
record of the lower Court did not furnish
what he expected, and he filed the return
of the Marshal.
Mr. Henry Smith, acting as inter
prefer, asked District Justice Kama I'M
der what law he found the prisoner guilty
of selling spirituous liquors without d
license.
District Justice Kama said under
chapter 56 of the Laws of 1886, sec
ton 23
His Honor reminded the District JUS
tice that under that he could only fine
the prisoner for the first offense; that
chapter 56 makes no provision for Of
Tense of selling liquor, only for carrying
about and offering for sale. He ordered
the prisoner to be discharged, saying
that he had been illegally sentenced to
both fine and imprisonment for a first

legally imposed The District Justice

sentenced him according to chapter 56
of the same laws.

As the subject of credit is one that has
been much written about in this city,
we present the following data regarding
the terms OF credit allowed in various
countries derived from reports of United
States Consuls and published bv that
Government
In Germany the credit systemis wide
spread, and the purchasers in settling
their accounts are generally much longer
than in France or England. Nearly
every commercial and manufacturing
branch of business has its own particu-
lar terms of credit, and there is no uni
formity in this respect
In England a payment of the price Of
the goods delivered is required at the
end of three months, dating from the
day of shipment.
In France a four months acceptance
is required to be sent in settlement OF
the invoice.
In Italy but little credit business is
done, and none without good security
being given.
In Spain four-flths OF the transactions
are done on cash basis, while in Por-
tugal great liberality is shown, and quite
a long credit is usually allowed.
In Austria it is scarcely possible to do
business without allowing a very long
credit, which is nearly always one of six
months.
In Turkey even objects Of prime ne
cessity are sold on credit, and in this
country, as well as in Russia, the time
allowed is in most cases twelve months.
In Canada settlements are made at
the end of thirty days, with a discount
OF per cent. Sometimes a credit OF
from three to six months is allowed, but
i'll this case there is no discount.
In Mexico the large commercial houses
willingly give credit of from six to eight
months, and in the retail trade longer
terms are given customers in which to
settle their accounts.
In Costa Rica a credit of from six to
twelve months is given in case OF mer-
chandise imported from Europe, in
order that the goods may be easily and
quickly disposed of. But since this sys-
tenn of credit has often led to losses, it
is now being given up.
In Cuba the time fixed for payment is
generally from four to five months after
delivery of the goods
The Consul General of the United
States at Rio states that one OF the
greatest drawbacks to commercial inter
course with Brazil resides in the neces- /
sity OF allowing too long a credit. At
Rio Janeiro, as at Buenos Ayres, min
imum credit is six months.
In the Bernudas accounts are settled
but once a year. The 3oth Of June is
the day usually fixed Tor payments.
In Asia 4Iinor a credit Of but two or .
three week, Is in most cases al that is .
allowed.
In China it Is not customary to give
,redit. Money is obtained from lenders
Who exact an interest OF from 5 10 y per I
ent. Business is nearly always con
lncted upon a cash basis
In Australia a credit OF six months j.
generally allowed

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 16.-Popular indig-
nation against article in the Herald, a weekly
paper edited by a coored named Jesse
Dukes reached climax here yesterday. The
article came out Saturday, and is as follows:
Every day or SO we read of the lypching of
some negro for outraging some white woman.
Why is it that white women attract negro men
now more than in former days2 There a
time when such a thing was unheard of. There
it is the growing appreciation of the white Juliet
for the colored Romeo as he becomes more ara
more intelligent and refined. If something is
not done to break up these lynchings it will be
that after while they VII lynch every
colored man that looks st white woman with a
twinkle IN his eye."
A large public meeting to-day adopted resolu-
tions deuouncing him and warning him to go
away from Montgomery at the peril or life.
Dukes's paper mas been bitterly partisan and has
more than once contained articles to which the
whites seriously objected

TOSAVE YOURLIFE

That's to wear proper underwear.
You may change your outer gar
ments as fancy or fashion may die
tate, but when you come to under
wear it is a serious matter. TO be
properly clothed therewithal is to
secure the secret of good health.
We look after this important part
of apparel with as great care as we
do that other part which, worn upon
the outside, is seen and hence gen
orally held to be the more impor-
tant. We have Gauze, Gossamer,
Merino, Wool and Balbriggan goods
in this line. We have every size.
We sell them at wholesale prices.
That is, you can buy them of us
lower than at any place else in this
market. Not below cost nor at half
price, nor anything of that sort, but
at a small margin of profit so that
you get an advantage in that, and
we get it by the large trade it brings.
Come trade with us.

Causes of the Uprising.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-Mr K. II. Sylvester,
OF the police department. who secretary of
the Ute commission of 1882. referring to the
present Ute Indian outbreak, says: ''It grows
out of the dissatisfaction felt by many Utes
with the settlement of the difficulties several
years ago Prior to 1879, hue and cry was
raised by Colorado settlers against the Utes,
who then held some of the finest lands west of
the mountains They wanted the land, and
wanted to oust the Utes at any cost So they
appealed to Congress, and Congress passed
the bill providing for treaty.
a commission was sent out the
Utes were given choice of certain lands in south
ern Utah. and bonus to induce them to
accept the situation granted certain
annuities. Colorow, who, it is alleged, is max
ing the present disturbance was of tho first
of the Utes express dissatisfaction with the
effort to deprive the Utes of their rich lands.
The Utes were, however, finally removed,
driven from their fine lands at tho point Of the
bayonet, and settled in Utah upon arid
desert lava bed tract Colorow resisted all the
time. He would not stay, but returned to
western Colorado with sixty braves and their
families. He used to 60 to the agency, how
ever, when the annuities were distributed, and
claim his share
Since 1880 Mr. Sylvester says Colorow has been
Utes of different tribes. He is warrior and
will die fighting. Colorow Mr.. Sylvester be-
lieves took part in the frightful Meeker
ere at the White River agency. Among his
socates was Captain Jack, who, when a pris-
oner, ordered TO leave his tent. and upon
his refusal was blown out of the tent and out of
existence at the time with a mountain
howitzer. Colorow and his band, Mr. Syl-
vester says. are. good fighters and
supplied with excellent arms. In the lava
beds they could resist a large body of troops for
long time Colorow used to visit Denver
Often and on one occasion went to Governor
McCook's Office and became rather insolent.
Governor McCook solved the Indian question
right there. He kicked Colorow out of his Office
and down flight of stairs into the street, in
Producing a style of warfare with which the huge
savage was not familiar.

FORMING A NEW ALLIANCE.

Russia and France j Jealous of the Advance
ment of Germany.
New York Mail and Express Cable
The familiar rumors are gaining ground in
Paris where they seem to obtain large share
Of credence, that alliance between France
and Russia, active and practical, has about
ceased to be an Indifferent topic of guessing and
debating among political gossips, and is rapidly
becoming an accomplished fact The reports
which hint at this consummation Of the wishes
of many on both sides 60 far as to affirm that
a defensive treaty has already been signed by
the representatives of both powers. This does
not mean anything very terrible, as it does not
suggest any idea of aggressive action in any di-
rection; but it is direct menace to Germany in
her attitude as still graspine and spread
ing empire. France naturally desires to
shut off any further aggrandizement
on the part Of her powerful and victorious neigh
Dor. and Russia begins to fret visibly under the
threatening and checking position which Bis
marck has gradually assumed toward her: SO
that the rumors, whether based actual facts
due only to reasonable representations have
certainly a plain and familiar basis in the recog-
recent action of Denmark, which brought SO
sharp warning from Germany, tends to
firm the idea that Russia Will not remain
neutral should Germany attempt extension
of her territory in the direction Of the little
kingdom. This is the real bone of contention.
The Danish marital alliances with greater
European powers, and particularly with Rus
sia, do not count for as much nowadays
as such unions OF reigDing families used
to amount to in international relations;
but the political and Typographical objections
to such step Germany is understood to
contemplate are very strong in the Russian
mind. The gain of considerable additional
coast on the Baltic, with the possible command
of the waterways between Denmark and Nor
way. is something that Russia could not witness
and stand quietly by. This is the drift of the
comment on these increasing rumors. and every
body has more or less faith in their truth. In
such cause as Russia would. in this event,
gage in France would be certain to render her
active assistance Nor is France idle in other
directions in which she finds it practicable to
enter into direct rivalry with her ancient and
bitter enemy. She appears anxious to compete
with Germany for the support of Spain. NJ.
Grevy sent special representative in the per-
son of General Cornat to await the arrival of
the Spanish royal family at the frontier town of
San Sebastian. General Cornat is instructed to
convey 80 the Queen the French Presidents
compliments to the little King. It looks alto
gether as if France were ready to take
more leading and aggressive part in the inter-
national affairs of Europe

TO REDUCE THE SURPLUS.
Governor Martin Approves Plan to Benefit
Kansas and Relieve the Treasury.

KANSAS CITY. Aug. 16.-Governor Martin of
Kansas, has received suggestion that may prove
of great value to western Kansas. The table
lands OF Wihhita. Greely, Scott and adjoining
counties, situated between the Arkansas and
Smoky Hill rivers, are not bountifully supplied
with water. Through those counties run White
Womans creek, dry except in wet weather, hav-
ing It's source in Colorado The plan is to con-
struct a system of dams in the White
Woman and connect its head by canal with
the Arkansas. By doing this, during the
winter and spring freshets, when there is an
abundance of water il the Arkansas. the dams
would be immense reservoirs of water, i'm
Dortant factor in assisting in climatic changes
and increasing rainfall There could be dozen
dams built at small cost, each making lake
from one to two miles long, with water in depth
from five to twenty feet, and giving plenty of
water TO the counties named.
The ground has been examined. and there is
nothing visionary in the plan The Arkansas
has plenty of water in winter and spring to
spare, and a canal of about two miles in length
would conduct the supply to White Woman
Governor Martin has approved the plan, and
suggested that, as it may be interstate ques-
ton, the congressional delegations from Kansas
and Colorado be interested in the plan and Sc
cure appropriations for typographical survey.
